Haarlem Kennemerland is a Dutch football club from the city of Haarlem, established in 2010 as the result of a fusion between the old HFC Haarlem and amateur Tweede Klasse club HFC Kennemerland, after the former club was excluded in January 2010 due to bankruptcy.[1] It is still unknown at what level the team will play in its debut season.[2]
On January 25, 2010, HFC Haarlem was declared bankrupt and was thus according to Dutch league rules excluded from the 2009–10 Eerste Divisie.[3]
In February 2010, HFC Haarlem was reinstated as a new amateur club who took also the naming and logo rights from the old version.[4] Such club then started talks for a potential merge with amateur Tweede Klasse Haarlem-based side HFC Kennemerland,[5] which was announced to have been completed later on April 27; the new club was named Haarlem Kennemerland, and will play home games at Haarlem Stadion, thus aiming to continue the legacy of the old HFC Haarlem.[1][2]
